First week of teaching high school = in the bag! 🎉

The last few days have been exhausting, yet so much fun! I really have the best group of students EVER!

Anyways, I’m going to go take a nap now 😅

I hope everyone’s first week was stellar!

Thank you, @JustinTrudeau for giving me lots to talk about with my social 9s this fall 👀

#BREAKING: Trudeau is planning a snap election for Sept. 20, sources familiar with the matter say.

Holy Spirit sub friends! I have a teacher looking for a sub for tomorrow (Monday June 14). Anyone available?? It’s for a Div 1 teacher!!

All in the same week, I:

•Social distanced with my friends for the first time this year

•Received my second #COVID19Vaccine

•Found out that I would be completing my PSIII internship at Chinook High School, here in Lethbridge! @ChinookCoyotes

This meme pretty well sums up what it’s been like working in middle school 🤣

I am eagerly waiting for my ✨negative🤞🏽✨ COVID test result so that I can get back into all the craziness!

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

For this practicum, I’m trying to do what I should have done last semester... focus on my well-being while balancing my practicum work.

Now I’m feeling good and chipping away at my lesson planning with some Gilmore Girls on in the background.

Balance feels pretty good.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty ✨anxious✨ about all of the work I have to do this weekend to get ready for the coming week.

Instead of jumping right in or avoiding the work I had to do, I threw on a pair of running shoes and enjoyed a nice walk this morning #PSII

Running for a good cause #EUSfundrun @uleth_eus

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

ED students!! This is an excellent opportunity to get involved with a great organization! The EUS works hard to represent education students at Uleth.
If anyone has any questions about running for a position, shoot me a message!

Getting into the SJF school spirit with this t-shirt I found at the thrift store!!

T-minus 38 hours until #PS2 orientation day!

@harkness_rhona @SnFairbairnSch @ULethbridgeEdu Thank you, Rhona! ☺️

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

Happy to be teaching grade 8 at @SnFairbairnSch for my PS2!! Thank you @ULethbridgeEdu for all of your hard work making these placements!

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

@JuliaGummo This semester has just flown by! It’s hard to believe we’ll be in another practicum in just a few short weeks!

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

It’s that time in the semester when all of the PSIIs are anxiously refreshing their emails, waiting to find out about their placements.

If you need me, you’ll find me glued to my inbox.

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

@msrae___ @RJL_Edu @ULethbridgeEdu Good boy!!!

[Alisa Fontes @MsAlFontes]

@MissShelbyStark Incredibly jealous of you!! This student is an absolute JOY to teach!

A poem my student wrote me on my last day ���
—
I’ve already cried twice and I haven’t even said goodbye yet

Making my students DIY glitter ornaments in each of their favourite colours for Christmas! Only a few more to go before painting their initials on.

@JuliaGummo Thank you!

I have been feeling SO good lately! I feel like I’ve really found my ‘groove’ this week. My lessons have been going SO well, the kids are super engaged, and I’m having SO much fun!
What a change to how anxious and unsure I was just a week or two ago.
